RG Kar Victim's Parents Criticize CBI After Sandeep Ghosh Gets Bail
· India · Indian Express, Hindustan Times, The Hindu
The parents of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder victim have publicly criticized the Central Bureau of Investigation following the Supreme Court's decision to grant bail to former principal Sandeep Ghosh. Ghosh, who was arrested in September 2024, received bail on October 15 regarding a separate case involving alleged financial irregularities at the Kolkata institution. The victim's father accused the agency of failing to conduct the investigation properly, noting that only seven of 147 witnesses have been examined in over two years. The Supreme Court bench, led by Justices M M Sundresh and Prasanna B Varale, allowed the bail after observing the extended period Ghosh spent in custody. The family stated they intend to continue their fight for justice, including potential future protests.
Why it matters
The criticism highlights growing public and familial frustration with the pace of the legal proceedings in the high-profile RG Kar case, raising questions about the efficacy of the ongoing CBI investigation.
